Looking for Broadband Only

Suarez

I am looking for just broadband. All the offers I can find include switching the phone line to sky,O2 etc.

As I don't pay the phone bill the evening calls etc wouldn't benefit me and the best I unlimited broadband only I could find was orange at £12.50 a month (as I have my mobile with them)

Almost every ISP offers standalone broadband. Buy you don't say who your line rental is currently with?

Suarez

With BT at the moment. The standalone offers seem to be a lot higher than when you have the calls etc added:?

macman

That's perfectly normal- the more you spend, the higher the apparent discount. If your line is with BT, you can use any ISP you like who does not require you to take a bundle. But non-LLU 'unlimited' is going to be expensive-do you really need it?
The best broadband offers will be LLU ones, and you can find yours by doing an exchange search on www.samknows.com.

OK, so your LLU options are Sky or TalkTalk.

Suarez

I can't see anywhere on the SKY website that does Broadband only.

Can I not go with Orange?

macman

You can go with whoever you wish-Orange are one of the worst ISPs around however, usually trailing along at the base of the reviewcharts along with BT and TT. If you want to buy on price alone, I would look at TT.
